Sainte Foy Tarentaise - The Alps' Best-Kept Secret
Sainte Foy Tarentaise stands as “the best-kept secret of the Alps”, a hidden gem nestled at 1,550 meters in the prestigious Haute Tarentaise Valley, surrounded by legendary resorts including Val d’Isère, Tignes, and Les Arcs. This intimate resort offers 43 kilometers of pristine slopes across 88 hectares of skiable terrain, with an impressive 1,070-meter vertical drop reaching 2,620 meters elevation – creating the perfect balance of accessibility and high-altitude skiing.
Exceptional Off-Piste Paradise
Renowned among powder enthusiasts for its legendary off-piste and backcountry terrain, Sainte Foy offers access to some of the finest untouched skiing in the French Alps with several 3,000-meter peaks easily accessible from the lifts. The resort’s unique northwest exposure and special microclimate create a “snow magnet” effect, where fresh powder often remains untouched for days while neighboring mega-resorts struggle with wind-scoured slopes.
Intimate Scale with Premium Location
With just six modern lifts serving 25 perfectly maintained runs (including challenging tree skiing through protected forests), Sainte Foy offers uncrowded slopes and authentic mountain experiences far from mass tourism. The resort’s strategic location provides easy access to four major ski areas via “Ski Safari” excursions, while maintaining its peaceful village atmosphere with traditional stone and wooden chalet architecture.
